Rothschild 12

City Center

Lounge and Cocktail Bar

This café/lounge/music venue is set in the heart of Rothschild Boulevard, a short walk from the nearby Neve Tzedek district. Although its Eclectic-era façade may look a bit forlorn, owner Mati Broudo (of Hotel Montefiore fame) has created a bright, split-level gallery-like space where video and art installations are displayed up top as diners and drinkers revel down below. Rothschild 12 focuses on Israel’s increasingly award-winning wines, though the house gin and tonic can’t be beat.

Aria's upper level is an eclectic bistro, but real insiders know that Aria’s best offerings are in the lounge on the ground floor, where Middle East cocktail guru Custer Thompson whips up concoctions like the Sumac Gimlet.
